Verdict

The $160,000 Listed Mode Stakes. FOREIGN PRESS (2) grows a leg for hoop Graham who has three wins and three placings from just six steers and is building up a nice affinity. Is one from one around this circuit and is drawn to get a cosy run in transit from gate two. Will prove very hard to toss. The well-related SYLPH (13) (half to G1 winner Booker) brings NSW formlines to the table and will strip fitter second-up from the spell. Respect out of the Freedman barn. ERNAUX (7) got the maiden victory out of the way at the latest outing and can go right on with the job now. IMPERVIOUS (1) wasn't far away last start and had put together a string of wins and placings prior. Won the lone attempt at this circuit and distance. Contender.
